Okay. I don't own YuYu Hakusho or Sailor Moon. So there. I do appeciate the people though that do own them. They are great series.

And I've combinded this story "Hope" with my other story "Time Distance." It gives me somewhere to go and I think that both stories fit in perfectly together. Hehe. Enjoy.

Meetings
---------
Botan danced around happily. "Oh Koenma. That would be just wonderful. I'm sure the boys would love to go into another dimention and meet all different people."

Koenma shook his head. He wasn't too sure.

"What's wrong sir? Did I do anything?"

Koenma shook his head again. "No Botan not you. Once you go through, you understand, you won't be able to come back. At least, to this dimention. You'll be leaving everything behind. You can still come back to the Spirit World, but Yusuke and the others won't be able to go home."

Botan nodded. "I understand sir."

"Good. Now go ask them." Koenma prayed that they would say yes.
Kurama looked at the light. 'Turn green,' he thought. He wished he was driving, but noooo Hiei had to drive today. He looked at all of the people going in and out of the stores along the street. He noticed that there may have been as many men in the throng as women. 'Strange. Women usually shop more.' Although, they had their buisness and he had his. It was none of his affair about what they were up to.

"Annoying," Hiei said suddenly.

Kurama looked at him. "What?"

Hiei motioned to a tall brunnet as he prepared to move because the light would surely turn green any second. "That girl. She's annoying as...." His voice trailed off as he drove the car.

Kurama settled himself against the car-seat and leaned on the window ledge, letting the wind pass through most of his hair. "It will be nice here, I think. Although, Botan wouldn't tell us why we had to come here."

Hiei nodded. "An alternate universe for no apparent reason." He parked the car by a nice resturaunt. "Here."
This was where they were to meet the others for lunch. The Case del Tiardo --- whatever that meant.

The two walked into the resturaunt.

Kurama immediatly noticed three women sitting at a booth. One had long, dark hair and was facing him. One had short, blond hair, and the other had long, wavy aquamarine hair that went down to her shoulders; both had their backs turned to them. Then he saw Botan and Yuske and walked towards them. He passed the booth that the three women were seated in. 'The blue-haired girl is pretty.' He noticed Hiei right by his side when they reached their friends.

"Well, well. You two are certainly early. How's it going? Do you like the place?" That was the usual Botan. Kurama hadn't expected anything less.

"It's nice," Hiei said as he sat down. "If you like crowds."

Botan had been all smiles until Hiei had said the "if." Now she was frowning. "Oh come on. It's not all that bad really, Hiei."

Kurama nodded. "It's just not our style." He had said "our" style on purpose.

Hiei gave him a slight grin. Then his attention was obviously diverted nearer to the front of the resturaunt. "Be right back." He slid out of the booth quickly.

Kurama saw what he was heading for and joined his friend.

The three women who he had seen earlier were having a heated argument with a man. A girl with strange looking pigtails was kind of hiding behind the blond-haired women.

"Haruka this has absolutely nothing to do with you." The man said.

The woman who was obviously Haruka, shook her head. "This has everything to do with us. She has everything to do with us."

Kurama realized she was talking about the girl hiding behind her.

"Darien, why don't you leave." Hiei glared at the man.

Kurama saw the dark-haired woman relax a little.

"Michiru, talk to her! Make her see some sence. Setsuna-"

"Unless you want to die, I suggest you leave," the blue-haired girl said suddenly, in a dark voice. "Otherwise, it can be arranged."

He saw Hiei grin. "Setsuna, would you like me to get him out of here."

Kurama now knew who the women were. The blue-haired girl was Michiru, and the dark-haired was Setsuna.

Haruka cracked her nuckles. "Either you leave us alone; you leave Serena alone, or Hiei and I will kick your butt from here to the south pole."

The girl, Serena, giggled as Darien stalked out of the room. "You three were great." She turned to Kurama and Hiei. "And you too, of course."

Kurama noticed that she had nice, blue eyes.

"Hiei, I don't think you've introduced us to your friend." Michiru's voice was nice and sweet. Like a melody of the ocean.

"Kurama," Kurama said. He lightly bowed his head.

Haruka sighed, looking at where the man had left. "Geeshe. I didn't think he would leave this time. Maybe you should get a thing from the police that says he can't come near you, Serena. I think we all should. The stupid man. Cheating on you like that and then expect to be forgiven. The Pig."

Setsuna nodded. She turned to Kurama, smiling. "Well, you probably know us by now?"

Kurama nodded. "Backwards." He didn't feel out of place near them. It was weird. He liked her eyes though. Setsuna, Michiru, and Serena had nice eyes.

Serena giggled. "Yeah. Anyway, who's up for something to eat. I'm starving."

Haruka gave her a plain look. "We just ate. Come to think of it, you just ate." She gave the girl a worried/freaked out type of look.

Serena nodded. "I know. But I'm still hungry."

"You always are, Serena," Michiru said sweetly.

Botan walked up to them. "Say... Hiei... Kurama... you two made friends."

"Girls, this is Botan," Hiei said.

Michiru smiled, and then she introduced the herself and the three other women.

Serena's grin became bigger. "Here comes Mina!"

Kurama looked at the entrance of the place they were in. A girl with blond hair, with was tied up with a big red bow walked in.

"Hey girls!" She walked over to them. Then frowned, when she saw Hiei.

Kurama realized he had probably met Serena and her friends before, and obviously some of them didn't like him. "Hello," Kurama said, breaking the ice.

Mina gave him a nice wide smile. "Mina's the name. You?"

"Kurama."

Mina shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Kurama."
10 days later...

Kurama had probably met everyone possible. At least, out of Serena's friends. They had introduced him to EVERYONE they knew. Botan was more than happy with the people Kurama and Hiei knew. He had expected none less from her though. 'Why do I keep thinking about Serena?' It was true. The girl was pretty, yet not his type.

"Are you ready, Kurama?"

He glanced over at Hiei. Then he rose from the couch and went and put on his jacket. They were going to watch Haruka race. 'Why do I go?' It wasn't his type of thing. Yet he went anyway. Kurama sighed. 'I go to see Serena. Yet I know it's hopeless.'

He opened the door and standing right in front of him was Michiru. He was surprised at that.

"I guess you are coming then?" He voice was like a sweet melody.

"Yeah...." He was confused, and then realized why she was there. 'Of course. She and Haruka are friends. Of course she would be there.'

Hiei looked at him from the corner of his eye. "And we are going because...?"

Kurama shrugged. "Right now, I don't know. Botan has something plannned, I think. Well, let's go."
